Alcohol Abuse

The U.S. Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration reports that over 50 percent of U.S adults reported drinking at least one alcoholic drink per month. Most people drink alcohol responsibly, but some people develop drinking problems, including heavy drinking, binge drinking, and alcoholism. Alcohol can also contribute to other health problems, such as birth defects, violence, and accidents, and even death.  To get answers to all your alcohol abuse questions, visit our list of Recommended Sites.

When alcohol use becomes a problem there are many community options available for getting help for you and your family. PhillyHealthInfo.org can help you find support groups and treatment programs in Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery, or Philadelphia County. Our resource list in the blue box on the right side of the page is a good place to start.
